Sense have developed a Sensory Sport programme which provides opportunities for people with complex disabilities to participate in traditional sports in a person-centred and meaningful way. We have been working with five National Governing Bodies to develop resources, equipment offers and training package for Sensory Tennis, Football, Badminton, Snooker and Rounders.
A virtual training workshop is available for any coaches who may be interested in delivering our Sensory Sport model. The next training date is Monday 3rd June 6.00pm – 8.30pm.
The workshop will cover:
- An introduction to complex disabilities
- Why we have developed the Sensory Sport model
- Adapting activities to suit the needs of people with complex disabilities
- Planning and evaluating your activities
Following this training, you will have the option to gain further in-person support to help you set up your sensory sport sessions, and have access to our resources and equipment.
Please do not hesitate to hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or would like further information about the Sensory Sport programme.
